Guess who just got Kirby?

I picked up Hardspace: Shipbreaker. I tend to like "chore games" like House Flipper, and this is basically like that but with explosive decompression.

I dont play games often, but have been playing bayonetta this week. It's a good game, but it's so much like Devil May Cry it makes me want to play that instead...but I dont have devil may cry anymore (for the moment anyway) so bayonetta will do.
Also kind of suppressed I havnt seen a whole bunch of bayonetta cosplay's... seems like it would be a perfect fit for nsfw content.

I just got an Atari 2600 Jr. and a tube TV from the 80's. It's pretty neat, but I'm much more interested in the hombrew scene than the official releases. Ngl, most of the old games I've played on it are pretty janky, but the newer "unofficial" releases are fire.

I was just playing this, omg the amount of long cut scenes at the start of this game is insane, im pretty sure I spent more time watching cut scenes than playing...does the game play ever get passed walk from point a to point b? if not then it's going to be an uninstall for me

 

[bigvolcano]

Sorry. walking from Point A to Point B is pretty much the point of the whole game. It's about hiking around the post apocalyptic American countryside. The cut scenes are a bit much though. I'm on my second playthrough and I skip all of them.

It's a great looking game, ngl though felt more like an interactive movie than a game with the cut scenes. I'll probably give it a few more hours see if it grows on me but that's like what 10 mins of game play

I was amazed how well it ran on my system tho, no stuttering or lagging with all the graphics set to max and dlss on while having my mining software running in the background, not many games that can do that, normally I have to drop the settings or turn the miner off.

Was on the epic store the other day....what's with all these simulator games.. pc building SIM I actually liked, car mechanic SIM seems interesting but mainly because they are two things that to do irl are super expensive but the newest one I saw was lawn mower simulator...I mean there's probably someone in an apartment somewhere that's like "well it's the closest I'm going to get to cutting my own lawn"

I love Death Stranding and there is a point where the game opens up and is more about climbing and exploring and less about cutscenes. I'm 90 hours into my second playthrough and I have been taking my time and mostly ignoring the plot and just delivering packages.

Regarding the simulator games, there is a demand for simple "chore" games that aren't too demanding, and they are very easy for developers to crank out. I enjoyed House Flipper but every game of that type I've played since that becomes boring and repetitive very fast. I actually did play Lawn Mower Simulator (it came as a part of bundle I bought) and it was so boring that the only way I'll ever beat it is if I pay a neighbor kid $20 to play it for me.
